Stevens
The Stevens golf team started its season on a strong note, placing second in its opening match at Angus Lea Golf Course in Hillsborough.
Aubree Herzog paced the Cardinals as the individual winner and tied her career best round with a 37. Owen Wilkinson carded a 40 to place second for Stevens, and Ian Gersberg and freshman Raegyn Brothers each finished with 45’s to round out the scoring for Stevens. Elli Girard (50), Oliver Beeman (51), and Josh Petrin (52) also competed for the Cardinals.
“The short Angus Lea course caused some problems for [us] around the greens,” Head Coach Ryan Seaver said. “But coming out with two wins in each match is our goal each time out this year. It’s a great starting point for us.”
Plymouth earned the top spot with 74 points, Stevens was next with 73, John Stark followed with 65 and Monadnock finished with 58.
Stevens returned to action on Tuesday, Sept. 3 at Beaver Meadow Country Club in Concord. The Cardinals placed third despite receiving career days from Oliver Beeman (46), Raegyn Brothers (46), Elli Girard (52) and Wes Merriam (58).

Owen Blood paced Kearsarge, finishing second overall, after carding a 42. JT Pourby (46) and Ryan Donelan (48) were the other top performers for the Cougars.
“With our first match behind us we have a better understanding of what needs to be worked on in practice,” said Head Coach Bubba Williams.
